To the Honorable
Martin van Buren Esq.
Washington

To the Honorable Martin Van Buren Esq:
Sir,
I enclose you the original application of Adrian Gaudine for a pension - also a declaration made at our last Sup. Court of an inventory of his property. -
I perceive indorsed on the back of the original papers from the war office "not on the rolls," Mr. C. H. Allen tells me that his name is on the rolls in Albany. That from the records in Albany it appears that Gaudine served in Dubois Regiment for 2 years & something more from the same records that he served under Col. P. Courtland about three years.
You will remember that you promised Mr. Cornelius Van Allen Jr. to attend to this business if I hope for his gratification that you will give it your prompt attention. - I should there be any objections, to the passing of the application let them be fully stated and all that is wanting will be supplied.
Our friends in kind work on all well. Should it be convenient for you - occasionally send me a debate on some question of interest.
With sentiments of respect and esteem. Yours
J. Milcoxon
Note. If the Pension is allowed let the certificate be sent to me
